Rowan Atkinson returns as the crack secret agent in Universal’s Johnny English Reborn, which hits theaters next Friday (October 21). But long before he was a member of Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Atkinson was Edmund Blackadder.

As a gift to Atkinson fans, Universal Studios is sponsoring a FREE iTunes download of Blackadder II, the season set in Elizabethan England. Did we mention that it’s download-to-own, not stream or rent, meaning you can take all six episodes on a long car ride and guffaw yourself silly at moments like the ones below? That’s generosity at its finest.
